Inspired by George Nelson, (1908-1986) one of the most powerful forces behind the development of this century's American design aesthetic. As a thinker, writer, organizer and designer, Nelson commandeered a string of influential positions and brought about a widespread and clear-sighted reevaluation of how furniture & accessories were marketed and how using space well and thoughtfully could ameliorate modern living. Many of his original designs are on exhibit at contemporary museums around the world.
